| I am currently going to school for education. Someone is still usually here because my mom watches my son and usually comes to my house. I just take them everywhere I can with me and spend as much time as possible with them.

| I am a student, and I have to drive 45 minutes each way to get there. I am trying to get into pharmacy school. Usually Mandie is only home at most 4 hours by herself 3 times a week.

| it's hard but could be done; also you might need help from family members if they are available. i worked full time and went to school at night; it was really hard i fed her breakfast then went to work; thank god i work close to home; so during lunch i went home and fed her lunch. after work around 5pm i went home and gave her something small to eat; then went to school; and then around 9 or 10pm i came back and fed her dinner; sometimes my sister or brother will help me out and feed her; but i had to prepare the food for them. so it was another full time job; but i had to do it good luck

| I was a full time student. ( I graduated in December) I am currently working full time and I have classes each week. I usually have two days a week off, which are the days I spend taking baths and just hanging out with the u pups. Some days are half days so the pups are only alone for a few hours. The days that I work twelves, I play with them in the morning and while I am at work my BF takes care of them. He works literally across the street and comes home to check on them.

| i work and i'm a graduate student. it's very difficult, but having da vinci around is probably the best thing thats happened to me. its nice having someone greet you and be so excited to see you come home. i dont bring him around the days i have class, but other than that he hangs out with me all the time! even till 4 am sometimes when im doing homework. |

| I am going to school to be a teacher. I feel like it takes so much fun time away from Couver. I am always counting down the days until breaks so I can spend more time with him

| I am currently going to school full time, have 4 dogs, 3 kids and 2 grand kids. It is hard but it can be done. The days that I am home, I try to spend time with the dogs. The do miss me but they have gotten used to my hours and late nights. My office is also their area so when I am home, I am always with them.

| I'm in college right now, I commute from home, I take 12 credits right now. I do website design on the side and work for a lawyer doing side stuff, as well as dogsitting. Still exploring different career options.... The most Jackson is generally left alone is 4-6 hours so he's not alone a whole lot. When I'm gone longer than that, luckily my step-dad will walk him outside for me. I try to take at LEAST a 20-30 minute walk a day with him just for something. I live on a 3 acre "farm" so no neighborhoods, I have to drive up the road to a neighborhood to walk him lol! On the weekends lately I've been walking 5-6 miles total every weekend with him (combined Sat & Sun). He also goes to the dog park 2x a week (although we've been slacking lately!) He's very rarely bored and I do that on purpose to tire him out, ha. Even if I can't get him out for a walk or exercise, if I go somewhere, I'll take him for a ride in the car. He loves car rides and they tire him out. It works for right now!

| I graduated in August and just started working full time again today. Since I was in graduate school I had lots of gaps of free time, though I needed to use most of it for school work. So I'd spend my time doing my school work at home as most as I could, then of course I could spend more time than not with Zoe. As a baby there was always someone there, she was never alone for more than an hour or two. It was difficult, trying to keep an eye on her, give her the attention she needed, and get my work done. But it's possible, you just have to be clear with your time management/scheduling. Now that's she's older (she's 16 months old) she's not happy but fine to be alone for 5-6 hours. I hate doing it, but I also know she'll spend the entire day sleeping...
